The singer has been reportedly sacked as a judge on US X Factor after American viewers had difficulty understanding the star.

However, in an interview just after it was confirmed Cheryl would appear as a judge on the show, Cheryl said she was "proud" of her accent and that there wouldn't be a problem with it.

She said: "Americans can always understand me. I've been here a lot, I've got a lot of American friends and we have the odd moments where they're like 'What?!' 'What did that mean?' You know a phrase but i think that its going to be something that people get used to and I'm proud of my accent."
